how human solidarity
awakens in the face of
misfortune, and through it
we not -only get the moral
and human support that we
need, but also moreover, we
strengthen ties of friendship
with those who are away in
distance, but very close in
the heart ... 'Believe me,
my dear friend, that upon
receipt of news ... about the
influence you and your
friend were exerting on my
behalf .saw for the first
time the light of hope in the
middle pf black that today
surrounds my unfortunate
country."
"I owe my freedom mostly
to the efforts of my ad-
mirable wife and daughters,
and Amnesty Irt *rnational. I
don't know how you operate,
but faith -in your efforts and
concern sustained me
throughout the horrible
period of my imprisonment.
Without hope I think I would
have died. Hope has been
fulfilled. How can I say
'Thank you'? What can I do
for you now or in the
future?"
These voices of prisoners
•Chile. and Panama are
representative of the voices
of thousands of men and
women around the world
whose lives have been
touched by -the concern of
unknown people scattered
around this glebe. The
concern is 'that of human

beings — the concern that

• that is in accordance with
*the rights spelled out in the
document known as the
Universal Declaration of
Human Rights.
Your specific interest in
the area of human rights and
the work of Amnesty
International arises, • I
suspect, out of the mission
study emphasis on human
rights this year within the
United Church.
I would also suspect that a
majority of you have until
now not given much thought
to the issue — largely due to
the fact that you have.felt
your: human rights have not
been violated. It's' a
"distant" problem that
pushes itself into our - con-
sciousness in a newspaper
headline or TV newscast —
only to be forgotten' when the
article is read or the
newscast is over. '
Our reactions to reading or
hearing ofviolations of
human rights are varied: 1.
"It doesn't concern me —
why get excited?"- 2. "Isn't
that -awfuh' .-.. But Lca1l't do
anything about it."
what they deserve! They
shouldn't have stirred up so
• much trouble in the, first
place!"
With these kinds of
reactions, we can -shrug off
any responsibility or in-
• volvement. I :trust you will
realize, however, that as
committed Christians, these
reactions are inconsistent
with the command 10 be
obedient, the—command to
love that is ours.
Our mandate' for in-
volvement in human rights
issues lies in the call of a God
who is constantly liberating

Christ who sets us all free to

recognition, of so many

involvement in Amnesty
International comes about
largely as a result of my
Christian faith.
So 'let us loon now at the
situation in our world where
over 100 countries
throughout the world have
imprisoned people for their
beliefs, tortured them,
denied thein fair trials, or
otherwise denied their
rights. It's a grim picture,
but it would be even grim-
mer if these_, flagrant
violations of human rights
were not being met by voices
of protest.
What is being done?
Amnesty International is
at work — the largest in-
ternational 11GO solely
concerned with ' Human
Rights. Founded in 1961' by
lawyer Peter Benenson• out
of his concern over the
growing number of people
detained. for political or
religious reasons, it has
grown to an organization
with thousands of members
in 109 countries, 35 of which
have national sections of A.I.
There are 2,000 adoption
groups -working on specific
cases of prisoners of.con-
science — A.1.1tlandle about
7,000 such cases each year.
Amnesty Inter -national is
an independent and im-
partial organization working
universally — It is n t
associated with
government, political pa
or religious creed.
Christmas Theme
BY TRACY GLAV I N
Room 5
Mount Carmel
On a night long ago in days
' gone by,
,When angel's songs thronged
the sky,
In a lean-to shelter,- under
the moon, - ..
A baby was born, to become
- the savior soon.
On a night long and dark, in a
land cruel and cold
The Christ child.'s story •
began to unfold
Sheltered by shepherds and`
men far away
God's own son, in,a manger
of hay_
Unknown to the world, on that
stall night,
Jesus' life, began to take
light,.
And from that day on, he
asked and prayed,
He preachectand he lived, so I
the world might be saved.
